Detailed explanation-1: -Some of the most important city-states were Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Corinth, and Delphi. Of these, Athens and Sparta were the two most powerful city-states. Athens was a democracy and Sparta had two kings and an oligarchic system, but both were important in the development of Greek society and culture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Slavery was a widely accepted practice in ancient Greece, as it was in contemporary societies. The principal use of slaves was in agriculture, but they were also used in stone quarries or mines, and as domestic servants.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Athens, the city-state with a democratic government, people would grow up with their family’s slaves, and it was not unusual to become friends with them. In oligarchical Sparta, on the other hand, slaves were treated harshly, and their living conditions were inhumane and humiliating.
Detailed explanation-4: -Slaves in Athens took on a wide variety of roles, including menial labor, domestic jobs, technical crafts, and more. The least desirable job a slave could have was as a worker in the silver mines around Athens.
